Abstract
Historicism is a literary theory that focuses on historical events in works of art. It thus depict how historical issues are embedded in literature. The research entitled “Adabi da Tarihanci: Nazarin Wasu Wasanni Na Rudolf Prietze”(Literature and Historicism: An Analysis of Some Plays byRudolf Prietze) looks at how historical phenomena were encapsulated in Turbar Qudus (1898), Turbar Tarabulus (1902) and Tarihin Rabeh (1902). In its attempt to analyse the plays based on historicism, the workhas reviewed and ascertained the history of Rabeh (Fadl Allah), Jerusalem (Qudus) and Trans-Saharan trade and so many related issues for the purpose of reference.And the research analyses the literary appreciation in the plays, notably the plot, the theme, the characters, and the language style (figure of speech).
